Recently, in a Chicago suburb, a village trustee was issued a citation for disorderly conduct when she informed two less than discerning parents that the trees of the village were to be respected as elements of nature, not utilized like playground equipment. The citation was issued after the parents mistook verbiage used as that of being racist. It should be disturbing to all of us that a citation was issued because of words used in a non-aggressive fashion. Even more disturbing is that our society is willing to disregard free speech rights in pursuit of political correctness.

According to the Edmonton Journal’s editorial of April 4/08, “Prosperity in Diversity”, Canadians are just loving the transformation of their cities. Yeah right. Truth be told, Spike Lee could do a movie on what’s happening in my hometown of Vancouver, and no doubt a few other places.

The first archaeological dig since 1964 was begun last week at one of England’s most treasured sites, Stonehenge, and already a discovery has been made which has validated the scientists desire to dig in the first place.

Harare-Zimbabwe-As the post March 29 Zimbabwe harmonised election circus continues, reports of a plan by Robert Mugabe’s Zanu PF to intimidate the rural electorate in the run up to a presidential run-off have been revealed. A top source in the armed forces, who cannot be named for obvious reasons, made revelations that top army officials and war veterans met in the capital city, Harare, this Monday, at Cranborne, to “map the way forward” in preparation for a presidential re-run.

On the eve of the Pope’s visit to the U.S., journalist Raymond Arroyo has taken President Bush to task for his policy toward the plight of Christians in Iraq. Arroyo, anchor of the show, “The World Over,” has aggressively questioned Bush about some of the issues we raised in a recent column. The entire interview will air at 8 p.m. Friday, April 11, on EWTN Global Catholic Network. Here are excerpts from his tough interview with the President:

Over the years, we always find ourselves coming back to ask the big question: What was worse, the crime or the cover-up? From Nixon to Clinton, we know what they did was wrong. How it was handled is what ultimately made the bad situation worse.

TORONTO—(Epoch Times) A series of planned trips to China by elected officials in Canada has prompted concern over what message our country is sending the Chinese regime as reports of human rights abuses continue to pour out of that country in the lead up to the Beijing Olympic Games.

Petty Officer Second Class Michael A. Monsoor, a Navy SEAL, was awarded posthumously the Medal of Honor for diving onto a grenade to save his teammates.

There is little doubt left in many minds that I am a Google-fanboy. I literally can’t see them doing anything wrong, and I will gladly pledge my allegiance to their worldwide domination; surely it is inevitable.

In an effort made in tandem with the UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR), Google has added a UNHCR layer to its Google Earth application and Google Maps web application. Now, instead of being hidden away from cameras, Google has brought the plight of the refugee in to our own living rooms.

As we approach the birthday of Vladimir Lenin, founder of the Soviet Union…opps, I meant Earth Day…it’s so easy to confuse the two because they occur, quite by coincidence I’m sure, on the same day. Anyway April 22 will bring forth an avalanche of the usual accusations that America is a sinkhole of pollution, et cetera.

The White House wants a quick vote in favor of a “U.S.-Colombia Trade Promotion Agreement,” saying it will help U.S. business, bolster the anti-communist government of Colombia, and deal a setback to the anti-American ruler of Venezuela.

In November of 2005, wrong headed voters passed a bill, known as Measure H, that would have forbidden San Francisco residents from owning hand guns. If this goofy bit of unconstitutional meddling had been allowed to stand, law-abiding citizens would have been disarmed.
